IF YOU’RE out and about in London’s Covent Garden this week, take a moment to smell the roses at the Fleurs de Villes Floral Couture Installation. The five-day showcase will blend high fashion with fresh blooms, appropriately located in an area of the city famed for its transformation from a fresh produce market to one of London’s finest luxury shopping hotspots.

As well as giving visitors the opportunity to view stunning floral art, the event will feature a series of pop-up flower markets offering fresh-cut flowers, bouquets and other floral accessories. Shoppers will also be in with the chance of winning tickets to Jardin Blanc at the Chelsea Flower Show 2019. What a blooming lovely way to spend an hour.
